Maybe they would extend the Arts Garden @ SAM since the respond is so good? Such a pity we are not able to make it for the 2nd time. Happy to know so far all came back with good review, that I didn't make wrong recommendation
Luvv,
I am reading 好妈妈胜过好老师. Just started with the book. Don't really enjoy it, just okay read though. But I will still finish reading it and see if I can catch some good points. I can pass to you if you are interested to read.
RE: Raising our voice
To me, it's NOT considered shouting, cos I think sometimes we need to do that to get their attention to pass on our message effectively. BUT BUT BUT, to my hubby, it IS considered shouting. Sometimes when he is at home, I am more tense loh. He says I am too harsh/rough, must not raise my voice on the kids no matter what. I know that's what I should do, but hor, sometimes really cannot help it lah, esp to my girl, who still whines/cries pretty frequently.
Until now that my girl has turned 2 yo, I am still treating her and HR differently. How sad is that
Sometimes I would think is it me who made her bad temper, other times I would think is it her who made me bad temper (cos I was not like that with HR alone), or maybe it's really me (cos it's different handling 2 kids vs 1 kid). Maybe the vast different of characteristics and temperament between HR and XY was because of me, mainly if not fully, on how I treated them in the past few years. I am trying very hard to treat my girl better, but somehow I still lost my temper on her much more easily than when I am with HR, to the ratio of 10:1 (scold/shout at her 10 times while only 1 time at HR). I cannot take whining/crying leh, once she does that, I snap easily, to think whining/crying is common for young kids. So unfair to her lor, haiz, feeling like a bad mum.
Sorry for the ranting.
